RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: ROCKIN CHARMER (2) showed very good gate speed to get across and lead from a wide draw at his latest second behind Shezabluechip. He should lead comfortably from his better alley here and is capable of going one better. DANCEBYTHESEASIDE (7) appeared to have every chance when third at Stawell last outing but he did well after racing on the outside of the leader throughout when a narrow third at Melton prior. He is widely drawn again but he should be competitive against this class. THE IRISHMAN (8) was held up for a run at a vital stage and was doing his best work at the end when fifth at Warragul last outing. He battled on well for second at Stawell prior and is not without a chance. BLUE OCEAN (1) is a grinding type that worked home reasonably well for fourth at Shepparton last outing and is a place possibility from the pole position.
